Placenta Praevia

Hey guys, so this is my first pregnancy and I have placenta praevia and have been told it’s not going anywhere and will need a c-section which is fine with me, I’m not worried. But has anyone had this and had no bleeding leading up to it or if not, when did you bleed and how bad? Also what are the chances of it happening again with a second pregnancy? TIA x

I had it during my last pregnancy, was bleeding multiple times until 9 weeks ago when I hemorrhaged and the baby was born via emergency c section x

I had this! Didn’t bleed at all throughout my pregnancy, had a planned C-Section at 38weeks, they have to warn you that your more high risk of bleeding and complications, mine went absolutely smoothly! I did have cell savage but didn’t lose enough blood and it wasn’t worth putting back in they said, all they said to me was it’s a 2 year healing process to deliver naturally, hope this helps xx

I currently have this. I had a holiday booked and was advised I cannot fly. I had bleeding at 10 weeks (they think was implantation) but nothing since 🤞🏻 I’ve got a scan booked at 32 weeks and if it’s not moved I’ll need a c section xx

I had bleeding at 35+4 and ever since then it’s been brown discharge/blood ever since and I’m 37 weeks now and I’ve got my section next Wednesday x

I did complete placenta previa with my first baby and had no bleeding at all. It doesn’t increase the chance of happening in another pregnancy

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Boy or girl?

I’ve just discovered the nub theory and this is my 4th baby. Anyone take a guess?

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.

39 weeks pregnant FTM

39 weeks baby hasn’t come yet and I am just full of anxiety. I am trying to relax. I am trying to chill, but I can’t chill. I do not want to be induced. I would love to have her natural. Issue is I am tight down there and petite and baby is measuring big like the head especially. I know that measurements can be off. But I have photos! And she is a chunk. This is so unpredictable. How do I just put my faith forward and trust in God and how do I let go of this anxiety? I am doing fine and then boom it hits me and I want to ball my eyes out. I am trying to treat myself and do little things but driving or doing anything is so hard now and I’m so huge and uncomfortable …I’m at my breaking point 😭
